Electron transfer between microorganisms and an electrode—even across long distances—
enables the former to live by coupling to an electronic circuit. Such a system integrates …

Electroactive biofilms (EABFs) generated by electrochemically active microorganisms have
many potential applications in bioenergy and chemicals production. Biofilm electroactivity …

By electronically wiring-up living cells with abiotic conductive surfaces, bioelectrochemical
systems (BES) harvest energy and synthesize electric-/solar-chemicals with unmatched …

Syntrophic interaction occurs during anaerobic fermentation of organic substances forming
methane as the final product. H 2 and formate are known to serve as the electron carriers in …

In microbial fuel cells and electrolysis cells (MXCs), anode-respiring bacteria (ARB) oxidize
organic substrates to produce electrical current. In order to develop an electrical current …

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a promising technology for sustainable production of
alternative energy and waste treatment. The performance of microbial fuel cells is severely …

The transfer of nutrients between cells, or cross-feeding, is a ubiquitous feature of microbial
communities with emergent properties that influence our health and orchestrate global …

Quantum mechanics provides the most accurate microscopic description of the world around
us, yet the interface between quantum mechanics and biology is only now being explored …

Before cyanobacteria invented oxygenic photosynthesis and O 2 and H 2 O began to cycle
between respiration and photosynthesis, redox cycles between other elements were used to …

Abstract The genus Shewanella contains Gram negative γ-proteobacteria capable of
reducing a wide range of substrates, including insoluble metals and carbon electrodes. The …
